Seriously folks, you won’t want to miss this blog post. I’ve been raving about Globe’s latest offering since I first learned of it during the launch of this new service.

My wife and I were invited to attend Globe’sGCash American Express Virtual Card launch at the Quezon Ballroom of the Makati Shangri-La just recently.

Little did we know that what was going to be revealed to us and to a select number of individuals from traditional and social media was something absolutely exciting!

In a nutshell, Globe understands the difficulty Filipinos encounter when it comes to online shopping especially when accessing US-based merchants/sites. Some merchants require you to have a valid US address… a few do not even ship outside the country. Some ship abroad, but freight charges usually cost an arm and a leg (Ouch!)

All that is about to change with Globe’s GCash American Express virtual card!

What sort of benefits does a GCash American Express virtual card bring, you may ask? Check out the video below…

With a GCash American Express account, you finally have a valid US credit debit card that is seamlessly linked to your GCash mobile wallet.

Shop online from both local and international sites that welcome American Express. Digital downloads, such as buying songs, movies or smartphone/tablet apps online is absolutely possible. It is a secure and convenient way of paying for your online purchases anytime (provided you have sufficient funds in your GCash wallet).

No valid US address?No problem. GCash American Express will provide you with a valid physical US address (courtesy of My-ShoppingBox.com) where you can have online purchases dropped off at.

No valid US phone number?No problem. GCash American Express has got you covered as well. You will be provided with one (courtesy of My-ShoppingBox.com).

If you’re a Globe subscriber (prepaid or postpaid), you are automatically entitled to a GCash account. A GCash account enables you to sign-up for a GCash American Express virtual card! Check out the video below to see how easy it is to open your own account…

Loading up your GCash is very easy as well – you can head over to any Globe Wireless Center, any Bancnet ATM, or even convenience stores nationwide. Remember, loading your GCash account is FREE!

Product benefits:

ONE MONTH FREE trial

Low shipping charges

Security code feature accessible using your mobile phone

Convenient cash-in from your bank account or through any of over 7,000 GCash outlets nationwide

As soon as I signed up for my very own GCash American Express virtual card, I immediately tried it out on my iPhone via the AppStore – a few clicks here and there to associate my new GCash AmEx card with my iTunes account and, before you know it, I’m already downloading my newly purchased app! Amazing!

What about you? What wonderful items do you plan to purchase with your own GCash American Express virtual card?

Well, whatever it may be, with the GCash American Express Virtual Card, you will most definitely LOVE THE WAY YOU PAY.

It was cool. I just made an online order a while ago and I’m gonna hold my judgement once my order is shipped (to see if it’ll go smoothly). Other than that, it was fine. I mean I can buy a lot of online digital stuff with it (itunes, ebooks, etc….) and it’s working smoothly. Glad I used it :)

Make sure that your iTunes account is a US account (not a Phil account). If it’s set to Philippines, change your account settings first before entering your GCash Amex details. Also make sure that you know your Amex Security Number (4-digit code).

I am also having the same problem. Followed the detailed instructions from this link https://mygcash.globe.com.ph/gcashamex/ but my apple-id payment information can’t be updated using my gcash-amex information. Tried calling gcash 2882 hotline number, talked to the customer service for almost 30 mins but she can’t give me a technical solution either.

[…] Just a few days ago I was really looking forward to ordering additional SDRAM for my iMac… which I did. I made my online order on July 26, 2013 on Amazon.com by using my GCash American Express Virtual Pay. […]
